The following is an excerpt from a Christmas lesson by Charles Fillmore, co-founder of Unity. My transcription shares some of his ideas from over a century ago. Small edits were made for grammar, spelling and continuity of Fillmore's thoughts in sentence structures. Some of his musings may be seem tough to follow - chalk it [...]

Advent Week 4: Acknowledge the Waiting

By |2022-12-22T14:11:37-06:00December 22nd, 2022|Christianity, Christmas|

And now we wait, not for the birthing of the Gospel in each of us, yet communally as well. As the year comes to an end, we notice many of us are hurting, exhausted, feeling alone - not everyone for sure, but more than we may realize. Advent reminds us there is room for our [...]

Advent Week 3: Being Silent

By |2022-12-22T15:21:56-06:00December 10th, 2022|Christianity, Christmas|

In the season of Advent silence can be a lot to ask of a person. And yet silence is the sound of Advent. Mary carried a child in the silence of the womb for nine months. It is where we hold space for what we long for – new life, collective healing, yet also the [...]

Advent Week 2: Embodying the Communal Womb

By |2022-12-22T14:12:53-06:00December 3rd, 2022|Christianity, Christmas|

Advent begins as a solemn time. It’s the story of a woman who is the archetype of power and hope within her body. Our invitation this year is to encounter and embrace this solemnness, much like the story of Mary, as an embodied practice. Embodied spirituality is reintegrating our emotional and interior lives with the [...]

Advent Week 1: In the Dark While We Wait

By |2022-12-22T14:12:13-06:00November 27th, 2022|Christmas, Featured, Shadow Work|

Advent holds such a sacred space - the story and formation of the womb is tucked into our souls. Advent is most often thought of as an individual journey, even though we may celebrate together. We can think about it all year around, but probably don’t. This year, the invitation is something different, holding it [...]

Power of a Silent Night

By |2021-12-24T22:47:22-06:00December 24th, 2021|Christianity, Christmas, Faith, Featured|

Every year when decorating the tree on Christmas Eve at my mother’s there comes a point when we become still and fall silent. We oftentimes wait until Christmas Eve to decorate the tree in order to have everyone there. It makes for a much more precious and meaningful experience as each ornament is taken out [...]

Advent and Christmas is a time for telling the truth—the truth of our weariness and our anxiety, yes, but also the truth of relentless generosity. The entire season of Advent is about something on the horizon coming, something we’ve never seen before. It is a season of asking “what is possible?” An invitation to begin [...]

Peace Is Like Warm Syrup

By |2018-12-09T10:12:20-06:00December 9th, 2018|Christianity, Faith, Interconnected, Peace|

It's the second week of Advent, the week we focus on PEACE, and I am wondering how much peace everyone is feeling or practicing in light of events, both here at home and abroad. Sometimes peace can seem a little out of reach or maybe for a few folks, even difficult to define. I [...]

It’s official. We have entered the holiday season - even though I saw Christmas decorations at Target this past July… but let’s not go there. The bell has rung, and we are out of the gate - starting on Thanksgiving, running into Black Friday, zipping through Small Business Saturday, leaping over Sunday (there must [...]

The Gifts of the Magi Are Always Here

Christmas holds a special place in my heart because it was my dad’s favorite holiday, and because it’s a time of year for many family traditions and rituals to be played out. Every family has their own sacred, quirky, idiosyncratic rituals that frustrate and delight. Traditions that only need to make sense to the family [...]
